March 3 Cruise To Replace St. Pats Parade 2013
« on: February 10, 2013, 03:47:44 pm »
Last year when we didn't get into the St. Pats Parade, we replaced it with a BBQ cruise to Cloudland Canyon and Chattanooga.  This year, we got rejected for the parade, so at the meeting, we discussed doing another club cruise. 

Instead of doing it on the same weekend as the parade, it was suggested we do it on March 3.  The cruise will take us up to the Asheville, NC area for lunch, then return. 

Travel time from the Galaxy Diner area is about 3 1/2 hours.  Add in 30 minutes for a fuel stop and expect it to be 4 hours.  Take 2 hours for lunch, then return.  We should arrive sometime between 12 Noon and 1PM, returning about 3PM and arriving back in the area of the Diner about 7PM. 

There are some details I can't disclose here, so if you're interested, send me an email or PM.  We had 17 cars lined up for the parade.  Let's see if we can do as good for this cruise.

I just heard from 85GT, (Jerry Thayer).  He said he would be there to meet us when we arrived.

I think that I will have the 85 back on the road by then. I will let you when I get it done. It may still be tri colored or I might just rattle can that side and sand it off later.

I'll be there, of course.  Maybe Ray will have his back together by then.

Just heard from TNTCary.  He said he'd love to go, too. 

Pat had said he'd go.

Raydar said he'd be interested.

Maybe 308 GTB, too.

I spoke to SWMBO, and it looks like a "go" for me.
If my car is apart, I may be forced to drive the Miata "rebody".

Count us in.  We will meet you when you come through our area.  You said you would come up 85.  We suggest 85 to 11, then  up 11 to 25 and on to your destination.  It is much more scenic than 85 and almost the same time.  That way you can stop at the Marathon Station near our house again for a break and fuel if necessary and we can meet you there.
If that don't sound like a good plan then we will meet you somewhere along the way.

How about we meet up at the Mall of Georgia?  It's about 30 minutes north of The Galaxy Diner area, just off I-85 and it's right on our way.  For those on the west or north side of Atlanta, you know how long it will take you to get to the diner, so you can plan another 30 to the Mall of Georgia.  Due to ongoing construction, you probably should stay off the north side of I-285.

When you exit to Georgia Hwy 20-Buford, you'll come around underneath the bridge, and there's a McDonald's on the left just past the first traffic light.  We could meet there and pull out by 9AM. 

Post here if that's agreeable or with other suggestions. 

Edited to add the McDonald's address for you GPSers.

3210 Buford Dr  Buford, GA 30519

There was NO construction on the north side of 285, today.
I might suggest that you give a listen to WSB radio 750 AM. They are usually pretty good at reporting weekend construction goings-on.
There is also a web page, but I don't recall off the top of my head. WSB seems to be at least as accurate, if not more so.

While you're out here, you might check with Don or Donster to see if they have the right color body parts.  Robbie has a bunch and last I saw, he has a bunch of red coupe parts.

If you have a smart phone, download the Waze app (for both Iphone and Android) -- it's free. It alerts you to bad traffic situations.

Is anyone concerned about the weather? Does it look like it's going to miss us?
